100W idle is a lot imo. That's about €0.50 per day where I live -> more than €150 per year in power consumption. To be fair, you're running quite a lot of things at the same time.

The poster calls it a forklift for some reason, the ad doesn't, it just mentions the model of the machine

Not just populating with content, but also create revenue in some way. Otherwise creators won't post their content there, they have to make a living from whatever platforms they're on after all

I just briefly went through what's in the update. It's mostly visuals and some minor integrations? Or am I missing something?

I think you're on point with the malicious compliance. Google doesn't want to give up power and control. Requiring all installations to run through them seems to be their workaround.

He rightfully points out in the video that even if the data isn't sold, it could still be leaked and then proceeds to show how insecure the camera systems are. This kind of surveillance infrastructure just shouldn't exist to begin with.

Check out the Collabra Office android app. It probably covers your needs.

What you describe might be true for Canada, but it doesn't apply to all universities. Many universities have two primary tasks: research and education. These are two separate tasks with overlap.

I do find it understandable if publicly funded universities place restrictions on how many students they accept per program as it's their duty to give back go society.

Ugh, this shit again...

Are there any initiatives out there to call a stop to this? Or even better, initiatives to introduce legislation that forbids setting up this kind of surveillance infrastructure altogether?
